Why does my rectifier keep going out?
Other common causes for regulator rectifier failure involve the battery. If the link is bad and the voltage is faulty, this can cause the regulator rectifier to run hotter than usual. Things like poor grounding, a loose or weak battery, and a worn battery connection can all lead to regulator rectifier failure.
What does a voltage regulator do on a motorcycle?
The Voltage Regulator is an important component of the electrical charging system, and keeps your motorcycle battery from being overcharged and damaged.
Why does my 1999 Suzuki GSXR keep burning out?
There is not a guarantee that there is a problem with your charging system if the rectifier on your 1999 Suzuki GSXR keeps burning out. Splashing through water is very unlikely to have been the root cause of the issue. Your era of Suzuki is unfortunately notorious for burned out rectifiers and stators.
What causes a motorcycle regulator to go bad?
One of the primary causes of failure is heat. Different motorcycle manufacturers install the regulator rectifier in different locations of the bike, with some placing the part near the radiator or other sections of the bike that impede airflow. Depending on where your bike’s regulator rectifier is located, the part can overheat.
Where are the charging wires on a Suzuki gsxr600?
Essentially, the charging systems were junk. There are three yellow wires that come from your stator. They come out of the left side crankshaft cover and route into your sprocket cover and out along the cast bottom portion of your frame on their way to your rectifier. They connect directly to the rectifier.
What’s the Max resistance on a Suzuki gsxr600?
Static Test Set multimeter to ohms and test between all the leads in pairs. The reading 0.1 to 1.0 max resistance. No Load Test Dynamic Test Set your multimeter to AC Volts and start the bike. It should be cold. Have a friend hold the RPM’s at 5,000. Test between the leads. You should see more than 70V.
